Political curiousity

Tweet

Simply put.... I hate politics or even discussing it. But it seems to be what everyone focuses on. I have seen people lose years of friendship over disagreements. We are living in an era where our beliefs are constantly under attack just because so many people refuse to respect others who don't believe in the same things they do. Someone asked a nomad friend of mine what her political stand was. The person asked the question only to make sure he would not say something that may offend her in casual conversation. My friend hesitated. I knew right away her hesitation meant she supported Trump and felt uncomfortable saying so. I personally don't care what anyone's political stand is. I only care about how I am treated as a person. I think it sad that people are afraid to share their beliefs because they fear being ostracized. I love people for who they are and how they treat me, not what their political beliefs are. This is why I hate politics. It continues to divide us as a nation. Common sense is quickly forgotten in this political war.
